Using build 16.3.6809.

When deleting emails from the Spam Quarantine, the emails remain on disk. I have to manually remove them from the C:\SmarterMail\Spool\Quarantine\[DATE] directory manually. Is this by design?

Would also be nice if SmarterMail monitored the directory directly, so when we delete files from the file system, they get removed from the spool manager automatically as well. Deleting 6000+ messages 200 at a time from the SM interface is draining.

They should be getting removed within an hour of removal. We used to actively run our "clean quarantine" routine all the time but it was kind of expensive, so we moved it to be on an hour timer. Are you seeing them get removed from SM after that amount of time?

We deleted from the file system. The interface should also notice that the files are gone. Deleting 10k+ emails from spam quarantine 200 items at a time is horrible. SM needs better administration for the spool. So we delete from the file system as it is far more efficient.

Though, I just tested again for my install, items deleted somewhat horribly slow from interface, file system no changes at all. All 5600 emails are still on disk.

As long as your on the now current (Yesterday's) build they should be clearing out after an hour or so. We've got another task this week to have it grab a hashset of known files in the directory and compare for changes. This would allow us to check every couple seconds or minute for changes. This will give us the more reactive monitoring while changing the old behavior, allowing much more efficient monitoring of the file system.
